Description

In 1960, upholsterer Bill Colgan created a revolutionary soft, front-end shield for protecting Porsche’s new 356 while it whizzed around the test track. 45 years later, Colgan’s Original Car Bra fits and performs better than any other car bra on the market.

The Original Car Bra sports UV-resistant 100% virgin vinyl—the heaviest in the industry—which is milled exclusively to Colgan’s high standards. It resists fading in the sun, shrinkage in heat, and stiffness in bitter cold. Plus, it’s backed by a finish-pampering layer of thick flannel that’s integrated into the vinyl to prevent separation. This cozy lining keeps your paint scratch-free while the flow-through screen over your grille lets your engine breathe.

Hand-tailored to the specs of your vehicle from multiple pieces of vinyl, the Colgan Original Car Bra delivers the best possible “memory” fit with no harmful flapping at any speed. The Colgan Original Car Bra fits factory headlamps and won’t keep you from opening and closing your hood.

Whether you want a little or a lot of front-end protection, there’s an Original Car Bra for you. Trucks and SUVs can get the full front-end bra with or without a T-style hood piece, or the T-style piece by itself. What’s more, you can choose between a classic Black or ultra-modern Carbon Fiber finish.

When you want proven protection from the folks that started it all, the choice is Colgan. They even back your Original Car Bra with a 5-year warranty.

not worth the money

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

"it was my second car bra, the first being a LeBra. The Colgan doesn't cover near the amount of area as the LeBra and is priced at double the amount of the LeBra. Also the installation is more difficult and not as secure as the previous."

Needs better install instructions

Posted on 05/29/2007 by Kim B. - 2005 Toyota Prius (Jackson,MO)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"I love the bra and the material is top notch. However, as a non-automotive inclined person, I sure wish the installation instructions were better. I still can't get the elastic cords to stretch far enough to attach to anything in the wheel hub of my Prius. For this reason the bra isn't snug on the sides. So now what? They are tucked under the bra, but this isn't a long term solution. This part is very disappointing hence the 3 star rating."

Nice quality and good fit

Posted on 05/09/2006 by Tim M. - 2005 Toyota Prius (Anchorage,AK)

"This bra was everything I had expected. Nice quality and a good fit. The only problem I had was that I had to drill a hole in the underside of my car hood for the bra hook to attach to."

I Hope My Girlfriend Likes It

Posted on 01/02/2006 by Mark R. - 2005 Toyota Prius (Payson,AZ)

"Oh yeah, hard to put on, two person job! Am I realy suposed to stuff those pieces between the headlight and the body? The instructions were lame, like most stuff from the US. Looked nice when it was mostly on. "has to come off everytime it rains"??? I know this the first Bra I've been around, I'm sure it is the last one for my girlfriend (we are not together, and who is going to put it back on after it rains, she washes her car???"

Looks nice but it blows off????

Posted on 11/03/2005 by Martin D. - 2005 Toyota Prius (Ben Lomond,CA)

"The Bra looks great - I'll give you that but when I had to pass somebody and I got it up to about 80 the passenger side snapped off and banged against the side of the car until I could pull over and replace it. It has done it again since - I guess I'll just have to watch my speed."

Bra for 2005 Toyota Prius

Posted on 08/25/2005 by Gary R. - 2005 Toyota Prius (Gaithersburg,MD)

"It looks very nice except for the two design flaws: 1) The hood section is a rather narrow strip. It needs to cover more of the hood. 2) The upper grille opening has bug screen, but not the lower opening which doesn't make sense."
